CCTV for all houses

Last week I read a news that KL Chief police is suggesting that all house owners/tenants to install a CCTV for their house for security reason as well as to assist police to catch the robbers or thiefs. This sound so damn ridiculous and stupid, considering it had came out from the mouth of the chief police of KL.

If as he suggested, all houses should install CCTV to help police to break the robbery cases, then what's the purpose of hiring them in the first place? Aren't police suppose to make safe our society and carryout their duty as a police forces to ensure peaceful and harmony living. What on earth that makes him said such thing to reporters, and to me it looks like they are shredding off their responsibility as a police and shifted the responsibility to the owners themselve.

Another question is: Can the police forces be dependable even if CCTV is installed at all houses? Will the policemen really putting effort in to solve all these crime cases? I think this suggestion is just to partially shifting the blames of crimes into the public and to lighten and shredd off some responsibility from the police forces. It will also then enable them to have more time for coffee and tea break at wish. If any case without CCTV, they will just put in a file and come a reply "Sorry no CCTV, it will take time to trace"

So can we still depend on policemen to safeguard us in the future? what if our properties are broken in? Will the policemen just say it's beyond their ability because we do not install CCTV in our premises? We snatch and run, robbery or even street offences happened policemen can just tell the public there's nothing much they could do because there isn't CCTV around? All these only show one thing about our policemen - They are a bunch of incapable and incompetent forces that is waasting too much of our tax payers money, government resources, and also the nature resources. They should just find a deep hole and hide themselve in it forever.

Of all these, there sure to be one thing good about our policemen. It's just like the song written by our famous son, policemen are very thirsty all the time, and also they are very friendly towards the public. Whenever there's a minor offender in sight, that's when and where we will see our lovely policemen's true ability. They will greet you with huge smiles, telling all sort of safety rules as well as our law and regulations, and not forgetting to mentioned how heavy the compound will be etc. That's the only good thing and true capability of our policemen, that's when we will see them being most efficient because it's very tiring and thirsty for having such long conversation to publics, so we "should" buy them a coffee, preferrably with some sugar in it so it tasted sweeter.

By looking at the abovementioned, we can know roughly why our country's crime rate is getting higher, why are there so many unsolved cases inside police stations, why the same things could happen over and over again in the same area. All these sums up to our incapability of policemen.

I even heard once in Kepong area when there's an armed robbery at a coffee shop, police only arrive at crime scene about 45 minutes after call being made, when the police station is barely less than 1 km away. What made it worse is the first question asked was "Where's the robber?" Then when told he's gone, the reply with relieve is "Luckily" from the policeman. Is that protection we, the public deserve from policemen?

Probably we can't blame the policemen because they are only earning such small salary, with probably some a huge family to feed. What if something bad happened to them? Who will feed their families? All these will surely goes back to the government. For this I am not commenting anything beyond this point as I know how difficult it is to manage a big group of people, let alone a country.

The only thing I wanted to say is it's time for government and authorities to seriously look into such problem, and finding a solution to cure the root cause of it right to the bottom, otherwise it will be just a waste of time and money yet again
